danny B Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Hi guys, Below are a few shots of my new Rockman Gabbro. This is Rockman's newest 26 inch bike and after building it I can honestly say throughout my 20 years in the sport this is one of if not the best bike I have ever had... The Geometry is as follows: Bb +70 wheelbase 1090 Headangle 71.5 Chainstay length 380 This bike has been weighed and comes in at 8.2 without doing anything crazy like cutting down any tyres etc. Quick spec: Frame- Rockman Gabbro Bars- Rockman Carbon Stem- Rockman 150 Forks- Rockman Carbon hubs- Rockman Cranks- Rockman Headset- Hope Pedals- Hope F20 team green Front Tyre- Michelin Race'r Ti bolts throughout the build and was built up by the guys at TartyBikes. Huge thanks to all of my sponsors and some new footage of this will be coming soon. Thanks for checking it out.

N.Wood Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Rockmans have some shit names. It's a coarse grained basaltic rock, whats not to like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) One thing to consider when naming a product is to imagine someone saying 'Hey, that's cool, what's that?' and then you reply with 'It's a Rockman Gabbro!' and if it sounds great and you can say it proudly, you did a good job. If you feel like a bellend because it's a shit name, better go back to the drawing board. This is also my opinion on Crewkers Christ, can you imagine if this was a Crewkers Gabbro?

AdamR28 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 It's a coarse grained basaltic rock, whats not to like? At least it makes sense I guess (the Rock bit)... The new 20" frame is called the Flint, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I like the rockman gab 'bro' Will you be going to bracken rocks on the new bike ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny B Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 yo sorry for the lack of reply been on the road and there will be some updated shots to be added later this weekend and I have an event to attend so will not be able to go to bracken although would of liked to have attended of course and I do aim to ride at some of the upcoming UCI events if sponsor commitments do not clash with these dates of course.
